Not as good as other cruise lines by Croozelover

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: MSC Lirica

Had never sailed with MSC, but booked this cruise solely due to the itinerary. Would not book with MSC again. There are much better cruise lines out there.

Restful and Fun Trip through Adriatic & Aegean Seas by marieyager7

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: MSC Lirica

Loved the cruise! Best parts were days at sea - 2 full days which made it relaxing. Would not return to the Greek islands - but would enjoy seeing more of the cities along Croatia & also wish the cruise would stop along the Albania Riviera. Do a suite if at all possible - very nice & spacious & lovely balcony! Staff all very nice & helpful!

You Get What You Pay For by jhlehman

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: MSC Lirica

We went on this cruise for the ports, not the overall experience which matched most other reviews. Out of 2000 passengers along with my wife and I a couple of sisters at our dinner table also contracted COVID on the cruise. The third couple did fine. We only saw the sisters at dinner, did not sit close or exchange food, drinks, etc. Funny that we were the only four that got COVID, and we were all vaccinated with boosters. One nice thing, if you are going to be quarantined for the last 48 hours of a cruise they put you in a balcony room and include free room service. 😎

If you are planning to take the "Night out in Mykonos" excursion you should know that there will be smoking inside the restaurant. If we had know this we would not have taken this excursion. Our night was ruined by the smoking. We couldn't even eat for all the smoke. Disgusting!
